Select the most appropriate option to replace the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Shyama does not laugh, nor she smiles.

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) nor does she smile.
Explanation: In negative correlative conjunctions like “neither...nor,” or in contrastive structures with “not...nor,” we must follow subject-auxiliary inversion in the second clause.
The helping verb comes before the subject.
Grammatical rule used: When “nor” begins a clause, the clause must be inverted — that is, use auxiliary + subject + main verb.
Example: She doesn’t sing, nor does she dance.
�� Information Booster: This inversion happens after neither, nor, so, rarely, hardly, etc., in formal writing.
